Foals released their 2nd album, Total Life Forever, via Sub Pop on June 15th. Currently on tour in Europe, the UK band will support the record in North America with a tour this fall that kicks off in Minneapolis on September 23rd. The NYC shows happen October 1st at Bowery Ballroom and October 2nd at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Both go on AmEx presale Wednesday at noon and general sale on Friday. Esben And The Witch is listed as the opener of the Bowery show.

The new-album song "Spanish Sahara" was remixed by Deadboy (download above). "Miami" has a video. Watch it below with all dates....

Love the new album and didn't especially care for the debut... TLF is probably my album of the year at the halfway point as well.. It's hit and miss, but when it hits (Black Gold, What Remains, among others) I get the feeling I'm listening to a band that's going to put out some classic records in the near future..

Esben and the Witch is a good choice for an opener too... Really looking forward to this show..
